definately, I saw another video of a guy using a tire nailed to the top of his chopping round, put the rounds inside his tire, and the tire kept the wood from slinging out too, either way, slick method

I grew up spliting 10-15 logging cords of Maple/black ash and burch. BLack ash splits very easly. and that looked like a straight piece of birch that is frozen.. Super easy, not putting him down, and that small of wood when it is birch creates alot of heat and birch burns fast any way... I stil never got to play with anything like the chain and bungy cord like he does! I had to use a 10lb splitting maul. ahhh the memories and the knowledge that i dont need to do that anymore HAH!
